ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or dis- posing of equipment washwaters.
Triclopyr has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground- water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
Clopyralid is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through soil and under certain con- ditions contaminate groundwater which may be used for irrigation or drinking purposes. Users are advised not to apply clopyralid where soils have a rapid to very rapid permeability through- out the profile (such as loamy sand to sand) and the water table of an underlying aquifer is shallow, or to soils containing sinkholes over limestone bedrock, severely fractured surfaces, and substrates which would allow direct introduction into an aquifer. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide reg- ulation.
INFORMATION
Alligare Prescott Herbicide is a broad-spectrum postemergence herbicide for control of broadleaf weeds in rangeland and permanent grass pastures, non-crop areas such as fence rows, non-irrigation ditch banks, roadsides and around farm buildings, and CRP acres.

CSI BT ALB
that could affect the seed bed of the new crop. Field bioassay at any time prior to planting of the intended rotational crop. Observe the test crop for herbicidal activity, such as poor stand (effect on seed germination) chlorosis (yellowing), and necrosis (dead leaves or shoots), or stunting (reduced growth). If herbicidal symptoms do not occur, the test crop can be grown. If there is apparent herbicidal activity, wait one year before repeating bioas- say or plant a crop tolerant to clopyralid such as barley, canola (rapeseed), grasses, field corn, oats, sugar beets, or wheat.
• Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes: To avoid injury to crops or other desirable plants, do not treat or allow spray drift to fall onto banks or bottoms of irrigation ditches or other channels that carry water that may be used for irrigation pur- poses.
• Tank Mixtures: Observe the label of other products used in tank mixtures and follow all applicable label directions. If directions on this label and tank mix partners differ, follow the most restrictive label directions.
• Do not spray pastures if injury to existing forage legumes or other desirable broad leaf plants cannot be tolerated. This product will injure or kill legumes and most other broadleaf plants. However, the stand and growth of established perennial grasses is usually improved after treatment, especially when rainfall is adequate and grazing is deferred.
• Do not apply to desirable legume species with exposed roots or suckers such as pod bear- ing plants like acacia, locust, mimosa, redbud, or mesquite.
• Established grasses are tolerant to this product, but newly seeded grasses may be injured until well established as indicated by tillering, development of a secondary root system, and vigorous growth.
• Do not use on smooth brome grass grown for seed.
GRAZING AND HAYING RESTRICTIONS Grazing or harvesting green forage:
1. Lactating dairy animals: Do not graze or harvest green forage from treated area until the next growing season.
2. Other Livestock: There are no grazing restrictions for other livestock including horses, sheep, goats, pigs, etc.
Haying (harvesting of dried forage):
1. Lactating dairy animals: Do not harvest hay until the next growing season.
2. Other Livestock: Do not harvest hay for 14 days after treatment.
Slaughter Restrictions:
Withdraw livestock from grazing treated grass or consumption of treated hay at least 3 days before slaughter. This restriction applies to grazing during the season of treatment or hay harvested during the season of treatment.
Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or feeding of treated hay) to sensitive broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing on an untreated pasture (or feeding of untreated hay). If livestock are transferred within less than 7 days of grazing untreated pasture or eating untreated hay, urine and manure may contain enough clopyralid to cause injury to sensitive broadleaf plants.
Grazing poisonous plants: Herbicide application may increase palatability of certain poi- sonous plants. Do not graze treated areas until poisonous plants are dry and no longer palatable to livestock.
Do not apply this product with a mistblower.
AVOIDING INJURY TO NON-TARGET PLANTS
This product can affect susceptible broadleaf plants directly through foliage and indirectly by root uptake from treated soil. Therefore, do not apply this product directly to, or allow spray drift to come into contact with, vegetables, ornamentals, various susceptible broadleaf crops, or other susceptible desirable non-target plants. Small areas of new legume seedlings should be established prior to seeding more extensive areas in order to determine if phyto- toxic residues are present in the soil of previously treated areas at levels that could inhibit legume establishment.
Do not use plant materials from treated areas or manure from animals grazing treated areas for composting or mulching of desirable susceptible broadleaf plants or apply such materials to land used for growing broadleaf crops, ornamentals, orchards, or other susceptible desir- able plants.
Plant materials or manure may contain enough clopyralid to cause injury to susceptible plant species.
Residues in Plants or Manure: Do not use plant residues, including hay or straw from treat- ed areas, or manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage from treated areas for composting or mulching, where susceptible plants may be grown the following season.
Do not spread manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage or hay from treat- ed areas on land used for growing susceptible broadleaf crops. To promote herbicidal decomposition, plant residues should be evenly incorporated or burned. Breakdown of clopy- ralid in crop residues or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.
AVOID SPRAY DRIFT
Avoid spray drift since very small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, may severely injure susceptible crops during active growth or dormant periods. Use coarse sprays to minimize drift. To aid in further reducing drift, a drift control or deposition agent suitable for agricultural use may be used with this product. If used, follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product label.
Ground Application:
With ground equipment, spray drift can be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible; by applying 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; by keeping the operating spray pressures at the manufacturer’s minimum recommended pressures for the specified nozzle type used (low pressure nozzles are available from spray equipment manufacturers); and by spraying when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid application under
completely calm conditions which may be conducive to air inversion. In hand-gun applica- tions, select the minimum pressure required to obtain adequate plant coverage without forming a mist. Do not apply with a mist blower.
Aerial Application:
With aircraft, drift can be lessened by using straight stream nozzles directed straight back;
by using a spray boom no longer than 3/4 of the rotor or wing length of the aircraft; by using drift control systems or drift control additives, and by keeping spray pressures low enough to provide coarse spray droplets. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoil or the Thru- Valve booms, or other systems which cannot accommodate thick sprays. Spray only when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid calm conditions which may be con- ducive to air inversions.
Do not apply by aircraft when an air temperature inversion exists. Such a condition is char- acterized by little or no wind and with lower air temperature near the ground than at higher levels. The use of a smoke device on the aircraft or continuous smoke column at or near the site of application will indicate air direction and velocity, and whether a temperature inversion is present, as indicated by horizontal layering of the smoke.
Sprayer Clean-Out
To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply Alligare Prescott Herbicide should be thoroughly cleaned before reusing to apply any other chemicals.
1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly at least three times with water after use.
Dispose of rinse water in non-cropland area away from water supplies.
2. During the second rinse, add 1 qt of household ammonia for every 25 gal. of water.
Circulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contact- ed (15-20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time.
5. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interac- tion of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
The applicator and grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift move- ment from aerial applications:
1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory. [This information is advisory in nature and does not supersede mandatory label requirements.]
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY
Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide suf- ficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental condi- tions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.
Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must com- pensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed.
Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions: Applications should not occur during a local, low level tempera- ture inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with alti- tude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the move- ment of the smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inver- sion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
MIXING DIRECTIONS
Water Dilution - To prepare a water dilution of Alligare Prescott Herbicide:
1. Add 3/4 of the required spray volume to the spray tank and start agitation.
2. Add the required amount of Alligare Prescott Herbicide.
3. Add any surfactants, crop oils, or other adjuvants according to manufacturer’s label.
4. Add any spray thickening agent, if needed to control drift, according to the manufacturer’s label.
5. Agitate during final filling of the spray tank and maintain sufficient agitation during appli- cation to ensure uniformity of the spray mixture.
Note: Allow time for thorough mixing of each spray ingredient before adding the next. If allowed to stand after mixing, agitate spray mixture before use.
Mixing with Liquid Fertilizer for Broadleaf Weed Control in Rangeland and Permanent Grass Pastures.
Alligare Prescott Herbicide may be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers and foliarly applied for weed control and fertilization of rangelands and permanent grass pastures. Using liquid fer- tilizers in applications to woody plants is not recommended as efficacy may be reduced.
Apply liquid fertilizers at rates recommended by supplier or local Extension Service Specialist.
Compatibility with Liquid Fertilizer: Prior to large scale batch mixing, conduct a “jar test”
for spray mixture compatibility by mixing each component in the required order and propor- tion in a clear glass jar. Close the jar and agitate the mixture until evenly dispersed. Use of a compatibility agent is indicated if components of the mixture do not disperse readily or do not remain dispersed after mixing. Use of a compatibility aid such as Unite or Compex is rec- ommended to help obtain and maintain a uniform spray solution during mixing and application. Compatibility is best with liquid fertilizer solutions containing only nitrogen.
Mixing with N-P-K solutions may be difficult, even with the addition of a compatibility aid. Pre- mixing 1 part Alligare Prescott Herbicide with 25-30 parts water is recommended before adding to the spray tank. Note: Agitation in the spray tank must be vigorous to compare with jar test agitation.
Suggested Mixing and Application Procedure With continuous vigorous agitation:
1. Add 1/2 the amount of liquid fertilizer to the spray tank.
2. Add compatibility aid such as Unite or Compex at 1 quart per 100 gallons of total spray mix.
3. First add the amount of Alligare Prescott Herbicide needed for the total spray mixture.
4. Mixing with N-P-K fertilizer solutions may be improved by premixing Alligare Prescott Herbicide with water (1 part Alligare Prescott Herbicide to 25-30 parts water) before adding to the spray tank.
5. Add the remaining liquid fertilizer to produce the needed total spray volume.
6. Apply as soon as mixing is complete, maintaining continuous, vigorous agitation through- out mixing and application without interruption.
Application during very cold (near freezing) weather is not advisable. The likelihood of mix- ing or compatibility problems with liquid fertilizer increases under cold conditions. Do not store the spray mixture.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Application Timing
Apply to actively growing weeds. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or cold tem- peratures prior to, at, or following application may reduce or delay weed control. Only weeds which are emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Wet foliage at the time of application may decrease control. Applications of this product are rainfast within 2 hours after application.
Application Rates
Generally, application rates at the lower end of the recommended rate range will be satis- factory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species, perennials, and under conditions where control is more difficult (plant stress conditions such as drought or extreme temperatures, dense weed stands and/or larger weeds), the higher rates within the rate range will be needed. Weeds growing in the absence of grass competi- tion generally require higher rates to obtain satisfactory control or suppression.
Use of Surfactants
A non-ionic surfactant cleared for use on growing crops at the manufacturer’s recommend- ed rate is essential for all applications of this product. Use a higher recommended rate of
surfactant in the spray mixture when applying lower spray volumes per acre.
Coverage
Apply in 3 or more gallons per acre by air or 10 or more gallons per acre by ground equip- ment. Use sufficient spray volume to provide thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern.
Inadequate spray volume and coverage may result in decreased weed control. As vegetative canopy and weed density increase, spray volume should be increased to obtain equivalent weed control. Use larger nozzle tips or decrease spraying speed to increase spray volume rather than increasing boom pressure. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for infor- mation on relationships between spray volume, nozzle size and arrangement.
Spot Application
To prevent misapplication, it is recommended that spot applications be applied with calibrat- ed equipment or with hand sprayers according to directions provided below.
Hand-Held Sprayers: Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be used for spot applications.
Care should be taken to apply the spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based on an area of 1000 sq ft. Mix the amount of this product (fl oz or ml) corresponding to the desired broadcast rate in one or more gal- lons of spray. To calculate the amount of product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl oz or ml) by the area to be treated in “thousands” of square feet, e.g., if the area to be treated is 3500 sq ft, multiply the table value by 3.5 (calc. 3500 + 1000 = 3.5). An area of 1000 sq ft is approximately 10.5 X 10.5 yards (strides) in size.
1 fl oz = 29.6 (30) ml
RANGELAND AND PERMANENT GRASS PASTURES AND NON-CROPLAND AREAS Broadcast (Ground or Air) and Spot Application: For control of listed broadleaf weeds, apply Alligare Prescott Herbicide as a broadcast spray or spot application at 1 1/2 to 2 pt/acre for control of annuals and up to 4 pt/acre for control of deep-rooted perennial broadleaf weeds. Use a total spray volume of 10 or more gallons per acre for ground broad- cast or 3 or more gallons per acre by air. Refer to Application Directions for Spot Application.
Restrictions:
• Do not apply more than 4 pt/acre of Alligare Prescott Herbicide per year.
• Alligare Prescott Herbicide is not registered for use in landscaping or on turfgrass or lawns.
WEEDS CONTROLLED OR SUPPRESSED AND USE RATES DIRECTIONS
• Use the higher rates when hard to control species are prevalent, when applications are made to mature weeds in advanced stages of growth, or during periods of drought stress or low temperatures.
• Rates in the lower end of the rate range are recommended only where grass response (competition) will help to suppress weed growth following treatment.
• This product is not recommended for broadcast control of woody plants; however, suppression or short-term control of certain woody plants such as multiflora rose and blackberry within treated areas may be observed at application rates recommended for control of annual and perennial weeds,
• Unless otherwise noted, apply when weeds are actively growing; use lower rate when weeds are 6 inches or less in height, increase rate for larger weeds up to flowering.
